Hot tea or any tea for that matter, is a homogeneous mixture as its composition is the same throughout the solution.If you take one spoon of the solution and compare it to two spoons of the same solution, the composition will be the same. Also, the different components which make up a cup of tea cannot be observed individually. All the components mix up thoroughly.

Homogeneous: denoting a process involving substances in the same phase (solid, liquid, or gaseous).
Heterogeneous: of or denoting a process involving substances in different phases (solid, liquid, or gaseous).
The beverage will have tea particles in a solid state in the mixture, it is therefore heterogeneous.
Sweetened tea is a homogeneous mixture. This means that the sugar or sweetener has dissolved evenly throughout the tea, creating a uniform composition.
Very much heterogeneous. You have a suspension of crushed tea leaves and sugar in a water base, possibly with lemon juice added.
Hot tea is a homogeneous mixture because it is a combination of water, tea leaves, sugar, and other ingredients that are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Brewed tea is a homogeneous mixture because the water and tea leaves combine to form a uniform solution where the components are evenly distributed.
It depends how you make it. If you put the loose leaves in water then drink it straight away it's heterogeneous. If the leaves are big and you sieve them out (or use a tea bag which you remove) it's probably homogeneous, but sometimes tiny solid particles can escape the sieve or tea bag.
A milk tea is a heterogeneous mixture because it consists of visibly different components such as tea leaves, milk, and sugar that do not dissolve into a uniform composition.
Tea with sugar is an example of a sweetened beverage. The addition of sugar enhances the flavor of the tea and provides a sweet taste to the drink.
